Thanks to everyone for their help. Yes, I just needed to set the min
line spacing in CM.

 

I did that and the DRC's are gone...

 

Thanks again...Diane.

Make sure you put in a min line spacing in CM. Just make min line
spacing the same value as your primary gap. I just went thru the same
thing. The way I understand it is if you don't have a min line spac in
CM the tool looks at your net spacing type for line spacing even within
the pair.

        Paul---thanks for getting back to me. But I am getting DRC's
when I tried to use the net spacing type with my diff pairs.

        I have 7mil gap and 5 mil width in my diff pair (from CM). I
have several of these that need 20 mil spacing between these diff pairs.


        The DRC on the diff pair says I have 7 mil spacing and the
net_spacing requires 20.

         

        Thanks, Diane.

        Yes Diane that will do it, we have these constraints all of the
time and it works very well.  The Router 
        will also do a very good job on them. 
        
          Good luck

[PCB_FORUM] 15.2 differential pairs and spacing setup

 

 

 

        
        
        
        I know this has been discussed before but I want to make sure I
am doing this correctly. 
          
        I have a large number of differential pairs with different
spacing within the diff pairs. But I also need different spacing between
the sets of diff pairs. 
          
        For example 
          
        Diffa+ and Diffa- has 7 mil spacing 
        Diffb+ and Diffb- has 6 mil spacing 
        Diffc+ and Diffc- has 8 mil spacing 
          
        Diffa(+/-) must have 20 mil spacing to Diffb(+/-) and 
        It must have 26 mil spacing to Diffc(+/-) (for example) 
          
        So in the CM, I can put the 7,6,8 mil spacing for the diff
pairs. 
        But do I still use the net_spacing_type for the 20 and 26 mil
spacing? 
          
        Thanks, Diane
